Van Steel
I just want to let everone know how great Van Steel is!! My TRW rear spring that I bought from them had the 8" bolts that made my car look like a 4x4. Art at Van Steel overnighted me the 10" bolts to make things right. I highly reccommend doing business with them, because of there commitment to make it right for customer.

Re: Van Steel (l2vette)
I tried to speak with someone about there trailing arm refurbishing at there booth at a Ecklers show about 1 1/2 years ago and I got the feeling like they had better things to do. So I went to Bair's. I am sure I could have caught them at a bad time.

Re: Van Steel (l2vette)
Id also like to ad what a great experience I had dealing with Van Steel. I drove over to Clearwater from Orlando first thing in the morning to have my trailing arms rebuilt, and they were able to service them while I waited. Thanx again to everyone for keeping me from having to make two trips from Orlando to Clearwater.
By the way, the trailing arms are performing wonderfully.

Re: Van Steel (Van Steel)
That's cool; it was my one and only experience with Van Steel. I have seen many favorable comments for you guys over the years. I am sure my experience was an isolated incident.

Re: Van Steel (IBEAM700)
I have had Van Steel rebuild trailing arms for me and I purchased a set of carbon fiber half shafts from them that I will install this winter. Great company to deal with. For that matter, there is no one who holds a candle to them when it comes to trailing arm rebuilds.

Re: Van Steel (Arkansas Flash)
I just dealt with them also for trailing arms, differential, the 30 spline axle kit and some other things and the stuff looks unbelievably great and they could not have been better to deal with. Bill.

Re: Van Steel (69ttop502)
I haven't done any business with them YET, next time I need something you can bet I will. After talking to Art & Dan at an ECC in Bradenton, they seem to be some GOOD PEOPLE!!! It's nice to actually see, meet, and talk to the owner of the business. I'm sure EVERYBODY who works there is very knowledgeable, but it's nice to see the owner actually is hands on and involved. :cheers:

Re: Van Steel (l2vette)
I spoke with Dan at the Carlisle show this year and got a lot of good info. They look like good people to deal with and will work with you to get exactly what you want done. On the other hand I also went to the Bairs booth and couldn't get an audience from the 1 guy they had manning the booth. It never ceases to amaze me how companies will go to a show with tens of thousands of people and then have one person manning their product booth. Oh well, I guess I'll be dealing with Van Steel this winter.

Re: Van Steel (l2vette)
Those guys are great! Easy to talk to, and very helpful. Van Steel rebuilt the rear end, halfshafts, rear bearings and T-arms on my car. I also bought a lot of my suspension parts through them. Bunch of great people over there.
